The Rorgonids were a powerful Frankish family dating from the eighth century.
The Rorgonids were named after Rorgon I, Count of Maine, who was the progenitor of the dynasty.
His son, Gauzfrid, Count of Maine, was the first to hold power in the Norman March of Neustria.
The Rorgonids and the Widonids competed for control of the Breton March through much of that time.
Recent research makes him a direct-line agnatic descendant of the Frankish family Rorgonides.
